Arijit Singh's retirement news gave me a mini heart attack! His voice is the soul of so many films. Thank god Aamir Khan stepped in. "Aisa mat kar yaar" is exactly what every music lover was thinking.

While it's great that Arijit is singing for this film, I hope this "retirement" wasn't just a publicity stunt for 'Ek Din'. Feels a bit calculated. Just be honest with your fans.

The reunion of Aamir and Mansoor Khan is the bigger news for me! QSQT and Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar are classics. Can't wait to see what magic they create again after so long.

Respect to Aamir for showing such humility. A superstar travelling to a colleague's hometown and living with his family for days just to request a song... that's genuine. This is how collaborations should be.

Arijit's voice + Aamir's production + Mansoor Khan's direction? This is a dream team. 2026 is too far away! The wait will be worth it, I'm sure. 🤞
